PARCC TestingWe will begin PARCC testing this week. Please refer to the attached testing schedule to see what days your child is scheduled to take their tests. Students are being tested on their grade level content standards up to this point of the year. We will use this data to help drive instruction in the future. Please make sure that your child gets a good night's rest and is ready for the day. Attached information sheets have some useful information regarding PARCC assessments.

William Barr's School HoursStudents may arrive at the building no earlier than 8:10 AM, and may go to the gym where breakfast will be served for those students who want to eat. Tardy bell and homeroom classes begin promptly at 8:35 AM, and dismissal time is 3:20 P.M.

2 Hour DelayThe Sheffield/ Sheffield Lake School District would like to remind you of the possibility of the school using a two-hour delay. If that should happen, our schedule would shift forward two hours. Our school doors would open at 10:35. If your child is picked up by a bus at 8:00, he/she would then be picked up at 10:00. There would be no morning Latchkey. Please note, with a 2 hour delay, breakfast will not be served that day. If you have any questions, please call the school office (949-4233). Thank you.
